Mythic 20+ Darkheart Thicket Clear

Members of the guild Serenity achieved the World First Mythic 20+ Darkheart Thicket clear! The affixes up were , , and . There was also a 332% health and damage boost to the mobs. Congratulations to Gingi, Gamko, Lazel, Shades, and Fragnance for this incredible accomplishment! Additionally, Vault of the Wardens M+20 was cleared in China a few days ago! Congrats to all.

Volunteer Guard Day

The latest 7.1.5 PTR micro-holiday event is the . On this day we take time to celebrate the hard work that city guards perform. Salute them and show them you care!

When this micro-holiday is in effect, there is no quest leading to it. Simply go to a major city in Azeroth, and /salute a guard. Doing this will transform you to match the appearance of the guard you saluted. It works on most guards in the cities, but there are a few exceptions for example the Arcane Guardians and large shield-wielding Silvermoon City Guardians.

Once transformed, you will receive a 24 hour buff named . This will also cause you to occasionally get attacked by City Invaders. Slaying 10 enemies, your buff will now say Defender of "City". As you kill more enemies, your buff will change to Heroic Defender, and then Mythic Defender. The transformation will persist through death and you can travel wherever you'd like with it. If you want a different guard's appearance you would just need to salute a new guard.

Blizzard has put together the annual holiday gift guide with recommended items for different price ranges and games. Stay tuned in a few days for Wowhead's holiday giveaway which will feature some of this merchandise!

Wouldn't it be a shame if someone reported them for their boosting website?I mean,they're showing their names and character names,and are advertising an illegal boosting website that is actively acting against Blizzard anti cheat system and all that on stream,it wouldn't take much effort to ban them permanently if someone were to report them....It would be a real shame indeed

I report every one of them, every time I see the spam in LFG, but nothing will happen. Just like the report on an exploit video here on wowhead that was declined and the video is still up.

It's not what you do, it's who you know. These "people" don't have the same rules the rest of us do and no matter how many reports they'll still be here. Blizzard and their affiliates put streamers and video spam over their own integrity.

Rules mean nothing when they're getting paid.

That's sadly true.it's always like that in real life,Money means the rules don't apply.I won't stop reporting them tho,even if I know it's in vain.....

Same reason why a world second happening on the PTR using snapshotting exploits is advertised as world first on WoWhead and MMO champion,Serenity is pretty much the same %^&* as Method,using money to get their way and get publicity

I thought it was just me and my crappy computer with the logging issue. Good to know it's more widespread and being looked at.

I call this the bank alt death day. I guess someone realized if you bring the fight to the AH everyone dies. Not worth the death walk .
